Met up with Joe and others from the local capital area for lunch. Nice bunch of people and am looking forward to getting my Marauder back from Marty's after an engine rebuild and other work.
In hindsight I would have been better off buying Joe's car. But, had a car that I thought was good, had some issues and now is costing me about the same as Joe's car.
So if you don't already own a one but want a nice Marauder, you should consider Joe's car. In the end you might end up where I am at now.
So, just a bump for those that may want a nice Marauder. Unfortunately, I am not a good enough weekend mechanic to do such major work. If you are similar, at least consider Joe's car.
Again, just passing on my experience for others to consider when pursuing the Marauder bug.
